Adobe Download Manager will not install when installing Flash Player

I recieve the following error after selecting to install the Active X ADM install.
I am running Windows XP Professional and Internet Explorer 7.
Any thoughts?

Hi J, Unless you think there is some reason you need the DLM or GetPlus, I would suggest you Remove them from Add/Remove. Both of those are causing problems. You don't need them to uninstall/install Flash Player. Reboot after
removing them and then use the following links to Uninstall/Install.
Download and put the Uninstaller on your Desktop http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE this Installer to your Desktop http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Read over the Uninstall instructions and be sure to follow the last 2 NOTES. Check your security settings and the Anti-Virus info-Norton. You don't want any Flash programs running while Uninstalling, so this would be your Anti-Virus/Spyware that runs in realtime; also check the system tray. Since you don't want to Disable your Security while online, disconnect from the Internet after you have the Uninstaller and Installer on your Desktop. When you are off line
then Disable the Firewall as well as any Anti-Virus/Spyware. Then Run the Uninstaller, Reboot & follow that last NOTE per the Uninstall instructions. Then Run the Installer, Reboot. Then Enable your Firewall & Security, connect back to the Internet. Test here http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about

I bought a new computer but the Adobe Download Manager will not allow me to download software?

I have already installed software onto two computers - a laptop and desktop, but now I have a bought a new desktop computer (imac), and I cannot get the Adobe Download Manager to download the software onto it. I have deleted the Adobe Cloud software from the old computer, and have the Adobe Download Manager (that works fine on the laptop) on the new desk computer, but it will not allow me to download anything other than trials with a 30 day limit. I am paying my monthly Adobe Cloud sub so getting very frustrated.

I know... I deleted and then realised I should have uninstalled. Stupid of me.
However, maybe people at Adobe read this or something, cos it has suddenly started working fine.
Thanks for reply BTW.

Adobe Download Assistant will not install.

I'm attempting to install the trial version of Design Premium CS5.5, but the Adobe Download Assistant will not install. It appears to be installing after I click on the installer--a window loads that says "Installing"--but then nothing happens. Nothing loads. Nothing shows up in the Applications folder. After trying this many, many times (with different browsers and after many refreshes and computer restarts), I'd sometimes get an error message that I need Adobe Air. When I try to install Adobe Air, I have the same issue: nothing happens. What can I do? I am using a brand new MacBook Pro.

I had a very very similar issue on my MacBook Pro as well with ADA. Solved it about 30 minutes ago. I found a post from late December that suggested trying the following:
System Preferences
Energy Saver
Uncheck "Automatic Graphic Switching" at the top of the page.
Install Adobe Air
Profit.
Hope it works for you too, I was ready to throw this box out the window.

I installed Elements 12 because my version of Photoshop (CS5.1) is not compatible with Yosemite. Now the Adobe Application Manager will not search for updates for any of the programs in CS5.5 that I have. How do I fix this?

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine?

Adobe download assistant will not work on my machine. When i try to start it i get a message saying "Sorry an error has occurred. This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance." Any ideas what to do

Are you using Mac OS? If so please try removing the Adobe Download Assistant from your Applications folder and try again. This issue is documented in the Known Issues section of Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html.

Adobe Download Assistant Will Not Recognize My Adobe ID

I've been an Adobe customer / forum user since before ID's were tied to email addresses. My product registrations going back to 1996 through CS 5.5 apps are recorded under that ID. Since I have to change my email address every couple years to escape spammers, I do not want to change my Adobe ID (and go through the hassle of re-recording the record of registered apps) to a "fluid" ID like an email address.
Automatic registration and now Adobe Download Assistant will not accept an Adobe ID that is not an email address, yet I can still use it to 'manually' register new / upgrade product purchases. The problems this poses are two-fold:
Since I can only manually register new / upgrade products, I cannot obtain any "registration bonus" downloads.
I cannot download trial versions of apps I want to check out.
Adobe needs to get its act together and tell its gen-X / Millenials / Kid Web and software development staff that not all Adobe IDs are email addresses, but might also be a unique user ID string.
Further, due to an individual's email address volatitility (virtually everyone in my email address book had their email address change every 2- 3 years due to ISP demise, merger, personal relocation, job change etc.), Adobe should return to - or at least give precedence to - the model of UID / PW authentication instead of email address / PW authentication. This would lower Adobe maintenance effort / cost for user accounts as one could simply sign in with UID + PW and change email address for the account as necessary. As it is now, Adobe CANNOT deal with a user whose email address changes.
When Adobe changed from UID precedence to email precedence, I could not register Acrobat Pro (2007) during registration so I used my email address at that time to register the product. When that email address ceased to exist, I tried to get Adobe to transfer that registration to my old [non-email address] Adobe ID, and, over several months of email exchanges, they ended up admitting they could not do it. I could not make the change as the SN was already marked as used in there system so simply re-registering it to my existing account wouldn't work either.
This has been an ongoing issue with "legacy" users since 2006 at least, and NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED ASAP!!!!

There you go MISSING THE POINT AGAIN!! My Registered products WILL NOT FOLLOW MY UID IF I CHANGE IT, NEVER DID SINCE 2007. Saying the will is false information which I alerted Adobe to back in 2007 and is a problem y'all never fixed.
Just a little over a week ago, I got I got LightRoom 4 ug from a LR 3 I had purchased in March. Signing on with my legacy UID (non-email) allowed me ADD those registrations to my account, as I had cor CS 5.5, 4, 3, etc. etc. Now, isn't it odd that the very day after I posted here, when I sign in to my account it shows NO REGISTERED PRODUCTS!!! If I look at my order history, it has orders from Adobe store from last weeks CS6 MC purchase back to 2007 when I started buying from Adobe directly after the local brick and mortar resellers disappeared.
So I try to register CS6 MC, it tells me the SN is already in use. I try open a PDF document and it tells me I have to first register and agree to the Acrobat Pro X license before I open a doc - and it was an UPGRADE FROM CS 5.5 MC. I try to run CS 5.5 apps and they tell me I have to purchase a license since the trial period is over - HUH! Until I posted here it was working FINE. I go back to my acccount (non-email UID sign in) and check my profile - Lo and behold SOMEONE (not me) has changed the UID to an email address instead of the non-email UID I sign in with AND DELETED ALL MY PRODUCT REGISTRATIONS!
Naturally, your software does not let me put it back to the same UID I use to sign on with so THE LINK TO ALL MY REGISTERED PRODUCTS IS GONE, I CANNOT REGISTER NEW ONES (which was no problem just a day or two before posting here) WHICH PROVES WHAT I WAS TOLD IN 2007 - WHEN YOU CHANGE UID'S YOUR LEGACY REGISTRATIONS WILL BE LOST!!!
So, in summary you (Adobe at least, and I suspect you personally) went in and messed with my legacy account, deleting all my registrations, as I was told in 2007 would happen and advised to keep the old UID if I did not want to blow away those registrations, when I explicity did NOT want to make such changes. And, should I need an SN for some upgrade offer or to install an update for an older product that I did not transition to the new facility, I have to HOPE that I had I can find the original purchase invoice and that there is a copy of the SN / Reg card attached to it.
THANKS A PANT LOAD!!

Adobe cloud manager will not open

I have adobe updates waiting but the creative cloud manager will not open from desktop icon. The tile is missing from the start menu. I have recently upgraded to win 8.1. Can this be the problem? If so how do I fix it?

I am a Mac User, with everything updated and ready to go!
That's merely a bold, but unsubstantial statement without any realworld value. You have not provided any useful technical info like what Mac actually and what version of OSX. If it doesn't even make a blip in safe mode, something is terribly wrong...

I just purchased CC. The adobe app manager will not install. any suggestions?

It says, other INSTANCES of adobe app manager are currently running... ?

Hi Chris,
It seems there are mulitple installation instances of Apllication Manager running.
Hereby, either you can quit those extra instances from Activity Monitor on Mac or Task Manager on Windows.
Or you can restart the machine and try to download Creative Cloud from below link.

Hope this helps.
Please let me know if you face any problem.

The newest version of iTunes begins downloading but will not finish and install.

I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and the App Store lists iTunes 12.1 as an update to be downloaded and installed. I have tried multiple times but it will not install and continues to show up as an update. Is anyone else having this problem? If not, what do you suggest I do to solve the problem. All the other updated downloaded and installed with no problem.

That is not possible, as iTunes 12.1 has not been released yet.
The current version of iTunes is 12.0.1.

IPod service manager will not start after installing iTunes 10

iPod service manger will not start after loading iTunes 10. iPhone will not connect. I've removed reinstalled, wiped the registry reinstalled and deauthorized, removed and reinstalled from several different downloads. I have full permissions fo rservices and am administrator.. We now have three other units in teh office with the same issue.

Don't know about fixing PitStop. However, have you tried a simple repair on Acrobat. If Acrobat won't open you can do that from the Programs and Features menu (Add/Remove Programs in OS prior to Win7).

Captivate 4 will not open with latest Flash Player installed?!

Hi,
I've seen this question already, but there wasn't any working answer.
When I launch Captivate, I get the warning box saying flash player "is not installed or its an older version" - with an OK button which just launches IE to get the player, and closes captivate...
I had beta player 10.1, so obviously it isn't older - but still, I uninstalled it, got the version (10.0.45.2) on the adobe page captivate sent me too and... Captivate still will not work!
I've unistalled the plugin twice, rebooted, checked the version and still Captivate will not launch...still the same message
So how on earth can I even launch Captivate?? Do I really have to roll back to flash 9 or something?? I wouldn't mind, but I don't even use IE!
Any help appreciated (esp. from Adobe!)
Cheers.

I just ran into this problem with Captivate as well. I uninstalled Flash Player 10.1 by going here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
I then downloaded an archived Flash Player here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
It seems the main installer does not incorporate the Active-X version of Flash that Internet Explorer needs. There should be several Windows installers in the download. For example, I used Flash Player 10. The following Windows files were in the package:
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_winax.exe
•    flashplayer10r45_2_win_sa.exe
Install the first one and second. The second file is the Active-X Flash version (I’m thinking “winax” means Windows Active-X), which Captivate needs to run. I don’t think you need to install the last file (“win_sa”, I’m thinking the “sa” stands for stand-alone).

Firefox download manager will not work

Firefox would not load so I uninstalled it and tried to download a new version. I can download the install manager but it will not complete.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
